Key contributions to four FDA-cleared technologies spanning tissue-based products, spinal implants, additive manufacturing, and synthetic bone graft substitutes
| FDA 510(k) | Technology | Representative Contributions |
|---|---|---|
| K082615 | Grafton II Enhanced DBM (MagniFuse®) | Conceived the product concept in response to a strategic initiative to develop procedure-specific bone grafts beyond general-use DBM products. Led scientific development and commercialization of the enhanced demineralized bone matrix (DBM) platform, including product development, biological characterization, and support of FDA regulatory clearance. |
| K121316 | Alpine Adjustable Implant System | Supported engineering efforts by identifying titanium plasma spray (TPS) as the preferred surface roughening technology following characterization of osteoblast responses to multiple surface treatments in tissue culture. |
| K171495 | Zyston Strut 3D-Printed Titanium Cage | Supported engineering efforts by investigating prototype failures using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Identified fracture nucleation associated with print media contamination and recommended alternative titanium print media that resolved the issue. |
| K203218 | CaP Sphere Pellet Pack – Second-Generation Synthetic Bone Void Filler | Developed the formulation, final product configuration, and delivery system. Supported manufacturing scale-up and established the product's technical market positioning. |
